I think Ady got eggs from this breeder this week.

I think so too... but not sure

These are a good choice. Cute little ducklings. I'd get some if I knew what my test results were gonna be.

Yes Duck. I have thoughts. I emailed the first seller this morning and asked if he had any close up pics of his ducks and if they were seperated by color. I havent heard back from him yet.

I was just about to ask also!
I think they are all together...?

I do too.

OK, the first breeder wasn't quite telling the truth in their description, so I'd say a no-go on those.
The Pieds are pretty, but large and beaky. Beautiful birds, just pretty much PQ. Good price, though.
My two cents, only.

This is what was in the description I was talking about. Is this person KIDDING?????????
"They are only able to get off the ground a few feet and are virtually flightless when you have the tiny ones like this so you dont have to worry about them taking off so much."

I think those babies are pretty too but I am not fond of white fowl no matter what it is. I dont have a stark white bird on the place. The closest thing I have is my SA hen but she has pretty colors in her too. Too nad they dont make orange birds. That is my favorite color lol

East, I am sorry you had to toss another butter baby. I candled last night and seen definate movement in two but the third was the right size but not moving. Maybe it was just taking a nap.

Since we got the White Calls in the raised pens, it is SO much better. I HATED the idea of them not being on the ground, but they just look healthier, cleaner and can't get so danged nasty!

I have to say, Sonja=I think our trouble with the Butters was the way they were shipped. Just my opinion, though.
